About this study

Official title: Study of the Determinants and Mechanisms of Adaptation of Metabolic Responses to Controlled Overfeeding in Female and Male Healthy Volunteers

Obesity results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors, and are strongly associated with metabolic complications such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity is defined as an excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health, a risk that is highly dependent upon the type of adipose tissue accumulation, whether visceral or sub-cutaneous, but also upon the characteristics of the fat tissue, especially inflammatory cells accumulation. Because of the well known sexual difference in fat accretion, this obesity-associated risk may also be very different for men and for women. In addition, recent data indicate that various factors such as the intestinal microbiota, but also the dietary intake of protective nutrients might be important determinants of the metabolic complications of obesity.

Here we propose to: 1) study the metabolic adaptations and the mechanisms of adipose tissue accumulation during a period of controlled caloric over-nutrition, both in men and in women; 2) evaluate the potential protective effects of a supplementation with polyphenols on insulin resistance and other metabolic adaptations.

Read the detailed description

To achieve these goals, healthy male and female volunteers will be enrolled into a one month longitudinal, prospective study on the influence of hypercaloric overfeeding (+50% of daily caloric needs) on different tissues (adipose tissue, muscle and blood).

They will be separated into two different groups: hypercaloric nutrition and placebo, and hypercaloric nutrition and polyphenols (2g/day), where polyphenols administration will be randomized and administered in a double blind fashion. Whole body and hepatic insulin sensitivity, total energy expenditure, glucose hepatic production, protein and gene expression in muscle, adipose tissue and blood as well as intestinal microbiota will be assessed at base line, and after one month of overfeeding.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hypercaloric dietOther

    Also called Overfeeding

    Hypercaloric diet will be designed to provide 50% excess in calories compared to daily requirements. It will consist in a "snack" type, high fat and high carbohydrates diet.

  • polyphenolsDietary supplement

    Administration of polyphenols will consist in the administration of 1 gram (5x200 mg) of the compound bid during the entire overfeeding period.

  • placebo (for polyphenols)Dietary supplement

    Placebo will consist in the administration of a number of placebo pills matching that of polyphenols, in a similar way (bid) for the duration of the overfeeding experiment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in insulin sensitivity

    Whole body insulin sensitivity will be measured during hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamps.

    Measured: baseline, day 31 of overfeeding

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline in muscle and adipose tissue gene expression

    Transcriptomic experiments will be performed on muscle and adipose tissue samples

    Measured: Baseline, day 28 of overfeeding

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypercaloric diet and polyphenols in people with Obesity and Diabetes, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact François P Pralong, MD (+41 21 314 0596, Francois.Pralong@chuv.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in insulin sensitivity (time frame: baseline, day 31 of overfeeding). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02225457, which also lists 2 linked publications.
